I'm not a dev, I just like tech stuff. I say this because I actually work with lower middle class Black and Brown people, though I'm White and lower middle class. Let me explain something to you guys, we worked through each "wave" and didn't really care. We were not "forced" to work. It was never a big deal. The whole "woe is the working class during Covid" was just an excuse for neurotic professional class workers to WFH.

"We study the spread of COVID-19 infections and deaths by county poverty level in the US. In the beginning of the pandemic, counties with either very low poverty levels or very high poverty levels reported the highest numbers of cases. A U-shaped relationship prevails for counties with high population density while among counties with low population density, only poorer counties report high incidence rates of COVID-19. Second, we discuss the pattern of infections spreading from higher to lower income counties. Third, we show that stay-at-home mandates caused significantly higher reductions in mobility in high income counties that experienced adverse weather shocks than counties that did not. These effects are not present in counties with high poverty rates. Using weather shocks in combination with stay-at-home mandates as an instrument for social distancing, we find that measures taken to promote social distancing helped curb infections in high income counties but not in low income counties. These results have important policy implications for containing the spread of infectious diseases in the future."

You're right, and I and you know you're right, but you're also banging your head against a brick wall. The only real thing for sane people to do at this point is to just live our lives and let these people pave the road to hell they'll unhappily run down. These are not rational minds and they get less rational with every day. Time to disconnect from them and live a healthy, happy, positive, non neurotic life tbh.
